Modifying Datum Planes Internal to Child Features 1

Ref: thread561-288800

All,

When a datum plane has been made internal to its child feature, is there an easy way to modify the plane parameters (Distance from a certain feature, etc.)? The only way I can find is to search through expressions and edit it there, and that method is slow if dynamic regeneration is necessary.

Thanks!

If the sketch is internal to the feature you need to click (rmc) on the feature in the model tree and toggling "make sketch external"
Then you can make the datum external by clicking on the sketch in the model tree and toggling "make datum external"
Then you you can reassocitate the datum plane the way you need to and when finished make the datum plane internal by using the steps above but toggling "make internal" instead.
